Voters in Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin played a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, as Joe Biden ultimately flipped these states and swung the results in his favor.
In Ohio, Trump won by a margin of 8 percentage points in 2016. However, in 2020, Biden won the state by a slim margin of 0.3 percentage points. This shift away from Trump in Ohio was indicative of a broader trend in the Midwest, where Biden made significant gains among white working-class voters.
In North Carolina, Trump won by 3.6 percentage points in 2016. However, in 2020, Biden won the state by a margin of 1.3 percentage points. This shift was likely due to the growth of the state’s urban areas, which tend to vote Democratic.
